特斯拉公布的今年第一季度亏损达到创纪录的7.10亿美元,而且公司仍在烧钱,原因是它正在提高大众型电动汽车Model 3的产量。 第一季度每股亏损为3.35美元,低于分析师预测的3.54-3.58美元。但市后交易中,特斯拉的股价仍下跌近6%,降至283.10美元。 尽管已经连续亏损五个季度,但特斯拉认为第一季度业绩是个利好因素。对今年年内的情况,该公司也表示乐观。在致股东的信函中,特斯拉表示自己在提升Model 3产量方面取得了“显著进展”,这款大众车型原定于第一季度后半段上市。 特斯拉的目标是到第二季度末使Model 3的周产量达到5000辆。该公司首席执行官埃隆·马斯克此前曾做出这样的承诺,但未能兑现。今年4月,特斯拉披露的周产量为2270辆。也就是说,公司必须在6月底前让产量增加一倍以上。 特斯拉表示,如果能实现这个目标,就可以在不包括第三、第四季度股票薪酬的情况下扭亏为盈。该公司还公布,第一季度实现收入34.1亿美元,比去年第四季度的32亿高6%以上,与上年同期相比增长了19%。 该公司在致股东信中称,已下调资本支出预期,途径是“聚焦于主要在今后两年使自身受益的短期关键需求”。特斯拉预测的2018年资本支出将近30亿美元,低于2017年的34亿美元。(365娱乐场) 译者:Charlie |
Tesla reported a record loss of $710 million in the first quarter and continues to burn through cash as it pushes to ramp up production of its mass market Model 3 vehicle. The loss of $3.35 per share was less than the $3.58 to $3.54 that analysts had expected. But Tesla’s shares nevertheless declined nearly 6% in after-hours trading to $283.10. Despite the fifth straight quarter of record losses, Tesla spun the results as a positive along with voicing optimism about the rest of 2018. Tesla made “significant progress” on increasing production of the Model 3, a mass market vehicle designed to propel in the second half of the first quarter, Tesla said in a letter to shareholders. Tesla’s goal is to produce 5,000 of the cars weekly by the end of the second quarter, a goal that Tesla CEO Elon Musk has promised before and missed. The company said in April it had produced 2,270 weekly, meaning Tesla must nearly double its production by the end of June. If able to achieve its goal, Tesla says it will turn a profit, excluding stock based compensation in the third quarter and fourth quarter. Tesla also reported first quarter revenue of $3.41 billion, up more than 6% from $3.2 billion in the previous quarter and 19% higher than the same quarter last year. The company said it has cut back its capital expenditures forecast “by focusing on the critical near-term needs that benefit us primarily in the next couple of years,” the company said in its shareholder letter. The company expects to spend just under $3 billion in 2018 on less than the $3.4 billion it spent in 2017. |
